Property-Based Testing with test.check

Property-based testing flips the usual approach:

• Instead of writing a handful of example inputs, you describe an invariant (“property”) that should always hold.
• A generator produces many random inputs to try to break it.
• When a failure happens, the tool shrinks the input to a minimal counterexample you can reason about.

This style is especially effective for Clojure’s pure data transformations, where the behavior is easy to specify and hard to exhaustively cover with hand-picked examples.
